Barrie has been one of the fastest growing cities in Canada for years, and it’s still booming!
Just an hour from the Greater Toronto Area, Barrie offers easy accessibility to a world-class city and international travel hub, while maintaining its small city charm, and offering great business and entertainment opportunities of its own.
An excellent and growing food scene, year-round activities for outdoor enthusiasts, beautiful lakes, beaches, festivals and events tailored to every season and interest, are just part of what makes Barrie a great place to live and work. With a newly improved transit system, including Transit ON Demand shuttles from the North End to the South End, getting around Barrie has never been easier.
Whether you desire quiet contemplation in nature, urban bustle and excitement – or both – Barrie is truly a city with its own personality and vibe.
The North Barrie area is prized as a jumping off point to cottage country. You’re just a short drive away from great skiing, vast, untamed forest, and the many activities and attractions featured in the Oro-Medonte area. Georgian College and the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre are within easy reach, as are growing retail and entertainment hubs – North Barrie now has its own retail Power Centre, and movie theatre.
Historic Central Barrie is perfect for people who crave a little excitement, and a lot of charm. You’re a short walk to the famous Barrie waterfront and beaches, and never far from a gorgeous water view! Central Barrie is also the city’s cultural hub, where you’ll find the McLaren Arts Centre, the central branch of the Barrie Public Library, and a wide variety of restaurants, night life, and funky retail shops. For fitness buffs, or those who just like to take a quiet stroll and commune with nature, there are kilometres of walking trails around the bay, and a broad choice of green spaces and parks.
Featuring the easiest commute to the Greater Toronto Area and points south, South Barrie offers excellent access to all major highways. Get on the 400, and you’re a short drive from the famous 400 Market, outlet malls, and a world of entertainment that starts in Vaughan and virtually never ends.
Almost anything you desire in retail and entertainment options are minutes away. South Barrie also features some of the city’s newest infrastructure improvements, with ample bike lanes and walkable areas like Mapleton Park and many other green spaces and nearby walking trails.
